Habitat for Humanity students building house

Members of the Campus Ministry staff serve as Advisors for the following faith-based student organizations, providing guidance and support in their specific missions.

  • Best Buddies

    Catholic University students are paired with a friend with mental and physical disabilities. Visit our Nest page for more information.

  • Cardinals for Life

    Cardinals for Life works to promote a sustainable culture of life that respects the dignity of the human person from conception to natural death, with particular concern for protection of the unborn. Through community outreach and education initiatives, with a particular emphasis on prayer, CFL strives to promulgate a message of hope and love, rooted in Catholic social teaching, that women and men deserve better than abortion and all life is precious. Our organization lives out our mission through activities such as monthly speakers, weekly sidewalk prayer, community service, attending the Students for Life of America Conference, and participation in both the Vigil for Life and the March for Life.

    About CUA Habitat
    The Campus Chapter of Habitat for Humanity at The Catholic University of America was founded in 1997. The mission of our organization is to spread the love of Habitat and help students become lifelong advocates for adequate and affordable housing for all. Students can help bring simple, decent housing to families in the D.C. area and nationwide in various ways, including day builds, weekend retreat builds, and spring break trips!

    Our chapter has grown rapidly since it was founded. We now offer day build trips on two Saturdays per month, two annual fall retreats, one spring retreat, and five Collegiate Challenge Spring Break trips to various locations across the country. For day trips, we serve in the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.  

    This year we also had an international build trip to Nicaragua, which occurred in late May 2018!  

    Our Mission
    Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope!
